September 2015: Nepal publishes new Vulture Conservation Action Plan for Nepal (2015-2019)
The Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC), Nepal in close coordination with Bird Conservation Nepal has updated and revised the Vulture Conservation Action Plan for Nepal (VCAP) 2015-2019. The previous Plan (2009-13) had become outdated in December, 2013 having prioritised many important conservation actions. However, DNPWC Nepal recognised that a revision was needed to reflect the progress being made including the upcoming release phase of the program. Multiple consultation and regional meetings led to the production of this plan.
